Bad Performance in Mac M2

pacastro commented 1 year ago

Expected Behaviour

Good performance in rendering everything (high fps)

Actual Behaviour

Bad performance in general, very low fps when moving view around (status bar displays 15 but movement is less than 5). Had same issue with version 1.1, NO issues at all with version 1.0 or previous (fps in the 80´s) runs buttery smooth.

Similar to issue #2836 but with boundaries not enabled (with them enabled it is a lot worse), more like issue #2778 but with a great decrease in displayed fps compared to v1.0 (15 vs 80).

Steps to reproduce

Run Stellarium version 1.2 or 1.1 in a MacBook Air M2

System

Stellarium version: Stellarium-1.2-macOS.zip
Operating system: macOS 13.1 M2
Graphics card: Apple M2
Screen type: 2048x1332 (same performance with default 1470x956 res)

@gorante could you change resolution to 1512x982 (as on @rayw000 screenshot) and check it again?

alex-w commented 1 year ago

@pacastro @rayw000 please run the latest snapshot Stellarium in Terminal.app as ./Stellarium.app/Contents/MacOS/stellarium --opengl-compat and test a performance

@alex-w yes, just done at 1512*982, which is MacOS default res:

Doesn't change that much by the way, here a video of the performances (at the end I'm opening DSO configuration to show what is selected):

https://github.com/Stellarium/stellarium/assets/4375800/3f9a987d-273a-414f-b6aa-fda956c6e44b

Still, doesn't look only a performance problem, yes FPS drops down barely to zero but with an external mouse it's still usable, with the trackpad totally not.

@alex-w I've tried the qt6-macos snapshot with --opengl-compat option, but it didn't bring significant performance change.

BTW, the performance issue only occurs when moving. When accelerating the speed of time to higher than 10000x, the celestial sphere itself still rotates smoothly, even all of the catalogs of DSO are enabled.

Here is the terminal output

Same problem with Stellarium on 23.1 from homebrew on macbook air 15" 2023. Navigating is very laggy (2-3 fps) despite a steady 30 fps shown in the box. Running with --opengl-compat and Disabling equatorial grid solve the issue for me. It's still not very smooth, I had much better performance on my other old laptop with an intel integrated GPU.

Running Stellarium from the command line isn't very handy, opengl-compat being a configuration parameter would make things easier.

Atque commented 1 year ago

Running Stellarium from the command line isn't very handy,

Plus awesome features such as ShowMySky won't work in opengl-compat mode.

gzotti commented 1 year ago

Obviously opengl-compat is intended for old systems where ShowMySky is simply not possible due to lack of hardware support. Else there would be no need for that, and we could always use this setting (which is basically what was available in version 1.0). A decent new 2023 computer should not need this switch.

Somebody with an M2 and dev skills should run the program with a profiler to find out what's happening.

10110111 commented 1 year ago

No, this definitely won't help at all. From the discussions here it looks like this issue is a duplicate of #2778.

The dependence on items like DSO being enabled means that lower frame rate just somehow triggers the problem of generating mouse move events from touchpad events. In particular, the screencast by @gorante shows that at the initial frame rate of 68.8 FPS things work perfectly, but when it drops to ~26 FPS, we have the problem.

The proper way to debug this is to find a person who

has an M2-based MacBook,
is able to step into QWindowSystemInterface code and try to find out what's going on with the touchpad input and how it is (or is not) converted into QEvent::MouseMove.

This is likely a bug in Qt, but it still needs to be isolated to make a useful report to Qt bug tracker.

arisada commented 1 year ago

You're most likely right. My symptoms match the ones of #2778 and mysteriously vanish when I zoom on objects, proofs that it's the touchpad taking time to register events.

1. has an M2-based MacBook,

2. is able to step into `QWindowSystemInterface` code and try to find out what's going on with the touchpad input and how it is (or is not) converted into `QEvent::MouseMove`.
This is likely a bug in Qt, but it still needs to be isolated to make a useful report to Qt bug tracker.

I'd be happy to help but I unfortunately have too limited knowledge of Qt and MacosX devtools/debugging to be useful.

What about test with scaling factor for GUI (HiDPI support): ./Stellarium.app/Contents/MacOS/stellarium --scale-gui 0.5

pacastro commented 1 year ago

@pacastro @rayw000 please run the latest snapshot Stellarium in Terminal.app as ./Stellarium.app/Contents/MacOS/stellarium --opengl-compat and test a performance

I'm back retrying Stellarium.... Tried the latest 23.2 version, performance is better like double from version 1.2, fps counter around 40 fps... still lower and appears like half from what I'm getting in 1.0 (fps 90-100). When zooming out to 150° fov or more, performance tanks.

No change in performance with ./Stellarium.app/Contents/MacOS/stellarium --opengl-compat

M2 based MacBook here, but no knowledge in devtools... can't step in the QwindowSystemInterface code

astro-moose commented 1 year ago

Trying Stellarium on MacBook 2016 with Monterey: Using the Trackpad makes the Application unresponsible. How can i get data from the Mac to help? Same App on MacMini M2 works like a charm. Reason for the bad behavior is definitly the trackpad. Using a mouse solve the Problem. If you touch the pad - the app freezes.

Hi @alex-w , I just tested the bundle from the above comment, unfortunately, anything extra put on screen slows rendering to a crawl still.

I did check the Activity Monitor and saw that both CPU and GPU were spiking to near 100% for the Stellarium program.

Do you need logs from the new build test?

Hello!

Please check the fresh version (development snapshot) of Stellarium: https://github.com/Stellarium/stellarium-data/releases/tag/weekly-snapshot

arisada commented 1 year ago

Hi, I confirm that the new snapshot fixes the problem for me! It's not extremely fast in terms of FPS (30fps) but it's completely usable. Thanks for your work!

linuxkidd commented 1 year ago

Agreed, the snapshot provides a much more usable experience. If I add a few items to display, I can get it down below 20fps, but it remains usable ( and not seconds per frame ). Thanks!!

Running the latest 23.3 release on an M1 Macbook Pro, performance is still horrendous (10 - 15 fps) dropping to 0.5 at times.

I noticed in the app's log a lot of errors relating to the solar system object file, so I've deleted that and things seem much improved.

gzotti commented 1 year ago

The error messages are given at loading of that file but should not cause harm later. Probably your old ssystem_minor.ini was just too large, so resetting that occasionally is a good idea. Note that performance rather decreases over the years as computation becomes more accurate and number of objects increases while the overall architecture has not changed much.

Hello everyone, I would like to please extend this issue to: Bad Performance in Mac M3

ImmersiveTheatres commented 11 months ago

I work with inflatable planetariums, and over the past 10 years I have used Stellarium as my main astronomy application. I use the spherical mirror projection mode, and I think Stellarium is awesome.

I only use MacBook Pros in my planetariums.

Last week I installed Stellarium v23.3 (Stellarium-23.3-qt6-macOS.zip) on a brand new MacBook Pro (Nov 2023) with M3 Pro chip, 18 GB memory, running macOS 14.1.2 (Sonoma).

Previously I was using Stellarium v19.3 on a MacBook Pro (2019) with 2.8 GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i7 chip, 16 GB memory, running macOS 10.15.7 (Catalina). The Stellarium motion of the sky (diurnal motion) on this old laptop is perfect, silky-smooth and absolutely beautiful.

Unfortunately, the motion of the sky on my new laptop is currently rough, juddery and sticky.

I am using the same config file settings as on my old laptop - yet changing these settings seems to make no difference to the quality of the motion:

[video] dithering_mode = color888 fullscreen = true maximum_fps = 50000 minimum_fps = 100 screen_h = 768 screen_number = 1 screen_w = 1024 screen_x = 237 screen_y = 85 tm_display_adaptation_luminance = 50 viewport_effect = sphericMirrorDistorter

Below is my log file after I launch Stellarium (without doing anything else). I wonder if anyone can please suggest something I can change, to make the motion of the sky work more smoothly?

I'm also wondering why the following error is so strong:

/Users/aw/stellarium/src/core/StelApp.cpp:915: OpenGL error: 1282 (GL_INVALID_OPERATION)

Thanks very much

Mario

Hello everyone, I would like to please extend this issue to: Bad Performance in Mac M3

This issue was confirmed to have been fixed, so yours must be different. Please open a new report instead of trying to resurrect this one.

The OpenGL error message is triggered by StelOpenGL::checkGLErrors(__FILE__, __LINE__); which shows the last error. Twice per frame. The cause likely happened earlier, see the last message above that.

Hello, since the touchpad problem at least on MacOS persists (framerate drops under 10 using a touchpad, using a mouse restores it to at least 60), i went for a look "QT6 an touchpad issues" This is one result - i hope it brings you to the right path. I am not sure wether this ist the solution but the bug sounds familiar. So if you see Planetry System Stacker which is suffering similiar problem on MacOS using GT5...

Here is the link to the entry. It addresses a wheelhandler bug which is related to the touchpad.

https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-87646

It would be great if this is a glance in the right direction!

regards!
